Credits to the THE GLOBAL EDUCATION PROJECT for excellent publications and resources for this webquest.
I would like to give credit to former students Mark Blaxall and Ian Campbell (La trobe University) who kindly allowed me to view their webquest and this assisted us in giving some ideas for arranging material, such as the VELS reference table, rubric ideas and debating resources.

The goal of the Project is to raise awareness and understanding of global and development issues amongst school students in Victoria and foster the skills, knowledge and values which will enable them to participate in a global society which is becoming increasingly interdependent.
